Does a Rupert Murdoch - owned enterprise (FX/Fox) running The Pentagon Papers , and hyping the hell out of the show, count as an exercise in Cognitive Dissonance or is it just my imagination? Just curious.

It's a good thing that it was all recorded for posterity in the courts, or FX/Fox would have us all believing that the evil Johnson and Kennedy administrations were being bad and the enlightened Nixonians saved our Democracy. Of course I have not seen the show yet, so for all I know that's going to be the re-write.
